********************************************************************* Please read: I wanted to do this song with my band for a Holiday gig and thought it would be much to half step to the key of F instead of F#. Also note that for the guitar solo you should play the chords like this: F Bb F - F Bb F INSTEAD of the progression of F Bb F - F Dm Gm. The rest of the solo it's just that one change you need to remember for lead guitar to play over. I've noted it below. Enjoy! T-bone ********************************************************************* Christmas is the Time to Say "I Love You" - Billy Squier Christmas is the time to say "I love you" Share the joys of laughter and good cheer Christmas is the time to say "I love you" - And a feeling that will last all through the year On the corner carolers are singing There’s a touch of magic in the air From grownup to minor no one could be finer Times are hard but no one seems to care Christmas Eve and all the world is watching Santa guides his reindeer through the dark From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini They will find a way into your heart Christmas is the time to say "I love you" Share the joys of laughter and good cheer Christmas is the time to say "I love you" - And a feeling that will last all through the year GUITAR SOLO (slightly different progression) | | Just outside the window snow is falling But here beside the fire we share the glow Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy Sentiments that everyone should know Memories of the year that lays behind us Wishes for the year that's yet to come And it stands to reason that good friends in season Make you feel that life has just begun Christmas is the time to say "I love you" Share the joys of laughter and good cheer Christmas is the time to say "I love you" - And a feeling that will last all through the year - - So when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shining brighter Then you know that Christmas time is here.
